i grew up in an era where the music industry contained artists such as sade, talk talk, rem, waterboys, inxs , police, jam, thompson twins, duran, spandau, jackson, prince, cyndi and many many more. there is no way in our life time we will see another era that will even come close to this.

Nowhere near as influential as the 70's or the 60's. Some of the groups you mentioned were not really that great to be honest.

Haha!

I was a child of the 80's and couldn't stand much of it at all. I preferred the less mainstream stuff in the 80s or it was just 60s and 70s music. It was a breath of fresh air when the 90s came along.

Its all subjective this !
I grew up in the 80s and hated it all, at the time i always prefered the 60 and 70s, but the best musical era for me was the 90s

Damn right - Look how many times Madonna has reinvented herself -
Loved the suede shoes Rock and Roll era of the 50's
Loved the 60's and Motown era
Loved the 70's Disco, Glam Rock, Northern Soul and Punk era
Loved the video era of the 80's
Loved the Clubland, Eurodance, Trance era of the 90's
Loved the Heavy Metal Sound throughout

I recall the 90's the best. I was a teen , so Oasis, The Stone Roses, Pulp etc were big for me. I wish I was around to experience a few era's hough. I would love to have experienced the big change of the 80's, to be in your pomp for that must have been something!!

It pretty much depends on what era you grew up in really.
My favourite music was between late 70s, to early to mid 80s coz that's when I was a teenager and going out and having a great time.
The Jam, The Clash, The Undertones, Buzzcocks, Specials, The Smiths, The pogues etc, too many to mention.

There was also a lot of rubbish music around, but I didn't listen to much of that.

Yeah,I associate a lot of the eighties's stuff with happy memories.
Glastonbury,going out with my friends four nights a week,almost getting trampled to death by two blokes who were having a 'don't call my girlfriend a ****' moment...........
Good times.

I think it's too close to call because every decade has brought us some classic music, it's often the case that you just have to know where to look for it.

Despite the apparently horrendous nature of the current music industry, there are still pockets of absolute brilliance. For example, I discover many new artists via 'jools Holland' shows, which always offer a tremendous mix of styles and genres.

Ultimately I honestly believe there is new music being created that is of potentially classic quality, and consequently I just celebrate each decade for the timeless contributions they have produced.
